Only Three Hours Long.

Rating: 7/10 (9 October 2013)

All-star recreation of the D-day Normandy invasion told from both American and German points of view, has multiple directors and writers, all trying to do their best at bringing this turning point day in world history to the screen, and they mostly succeed. Film is shown in black & white, which works fine, and moves along at a good pace, with many things going on to maintain interest. Actors involved to varying lengths include John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Robert Mitchum, Sean Connery, Robert Wagner, Red Buttons, and even singer Paul Anka! "Saving Private Ryan" told the battle more realistically and vividly, but this version is still respectable, and worth seeing.
